Former prime minister José Sócrates, who governed Portugal between 2005 and 2011, returned this Thursday to court, at the Justice Campus, in Lisbon.

During the appearance, the former socialist leader made several criticisms, demonstrating dissatisfaction with the progress of the process.

This return to court occurs within the scope of the judicial proceedings involving the former prime minister, which has been followed with media attention in Portugal.
